Ive been Catholic all of my life (im 30). I believe in God but sometimes have doubts. I attend Mass most weeks but sometimes feel that God has abandoned me. The feeling is kind of Black. I wear my crucifix everyday and i hope he’s with me but, who knows. I would love to reconnect but im not sure how. :confused:
 
READ THE BIBLE
blueletterbible.org <— good website if you do not have a Bible handy.

Wearing jewelry does not get you connected to God… sorry. That would be cool though!
 
I’m sure other posters will give you some helpful advice, but here’s a few of my thoughts…

Maybe start reading some apologetics on this site and others like it. Being more aware of the reality and truth of God certainly helps one reconnect. The more you know the logic of the Faith, the stronger it will become, the easier it will be for you to understand and get closer to God.
 
I found that nothing helps to kindle the love of God more than spending time in adoration. Go and sit with the Blessed sacrament as often as you can for as long as you can. Even if you don’t feel like it and think of anything but God. He knows what’s in your heart and your mind and uses all that to draw you ever closer!

When you say you attend Mass most weeks, is the because you are ill, don’t have a ride, or have a job which prevents this?

If not, it is very important that you resolve to go every Sunday. Because this will definitely do harm to you. Start with this unless you have a good excuse for not attending.

Then set up a prayer life, a scheduled one everyday. Pray for at least 20 minutes a day.
What prayers you say are less important than the fact that you spend time with Jesus in your heart. Prayer to the soul is like air to our body.

Tho you wear a cross, which is good, wear a Miraculous Medal too. Mary promised wonderful spiritual blessings for those who did.

Here is some important info about the Miraculous Medal, one of Mother Teresa’s
favorites.

“Have a medal struck… All who wear it will receive GREAT graces; they should wear it around the neck. GRACES will ABOUND for persons who wear it with CONFIDENCE.”
From the mother of Jesus spoken to sister Catherine Laboure 1830.
Later Mary said, “… it must be given to the whole world and to every person.”

“The devotions we practice in honor of the glorious Virgin Mary, however trifling they be, are very pleasing to her divine Son, …” St. Teresa of Jesus

During this apparition, Mary’s hands had 3 rings on each finger. Each ring gave off
rays of colored light. A few rings did not. Mary said that the lights radiating from
the rings are graces that people ASK for. The rings that didn’t radiate she said
were graces not given because they were NOT asked for.

Have it blessed. Keep it on all all times.

Then say, “Mary I am wearing your gift, and I am asking now for great graces which
you promised to those who ask and believe in what you said.”

Your mother wants to help you. It is her wish for you. She keeps her promises.
The medal is called Miraculous, and the picture on it is “Our Lady of Grace”.

“Great graces are often attached to what seems trifling.” St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
